Thousands of atrocities fall upon the oppressed, yet the world remains silent,
If the oppressed speak out, they are branded as terrorists.
Bombs rain on the defenseless, yet they preach lessons of peace,
Those who stand in support are labeled as terrorists.
Today, a war rages on the global stage between peace and unrest, righteousness and unrighteousness, shaking the very foundation of humanity. The genocide in Gaza and Iran is being justified by some powers as action against terrorism, while millions of unarmed, innocent children, women, and elderly lose their lives. Nations that stand in support of these oppressed are labeled as terrorists, whereas the real terror is the one shedding innocent blood under false pretexts. This article protests the genocide with references to the Quran, the Bhagavad Gita, and the teachings of humanity, while condemning the countries supporting these atrocities.
The Message of the Quran: Justice and Truth
The Quran, the word of Allah, teaches justice and truth. Surah Al-Maida (5:8) clearly states:
“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.”
This verse teaches that despite enmity with any community or nation, justice must not be abandoned. The bombing of unarmed people in Gaza, targeting schools and hospitals, and attacks on Iran that claim civilian lives—can this be called justice? Ignoring this Quranic command, some nations not only support this genocide but also justify it as a war against terrorism. This is a blatant violation of Allah’s teachings.
The Bhagavad Gita: The Lesson of Dharma and Karma
The sacred Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, speaks of non-violence and the protection of righteousness. Lord Krishna advises Arjuna in Chapter 2, Verse 31:
“Considering your duty as a warrior, you should not waver. Indeed, for a warrior, there is no better engagement than fighting for the cause of righteousness.”
However, the Gita clarifies that war is righteous only when it is fought against injustice and to protect the innocent. The attacks on innocent children and women in Gaza or targeting civilian sites in Iran—can this be called a righteous war? This is an outright display of unrighteousness and violence. According to the Gita, those who support such unrighteousness are complicit in sin.
Religious Scriptures of Humanity: A Shared Message
Beyond the Quran and Gita, all religious scriptures convey a unified message: the protection of humanity and non-violence. The Bible states, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9). Buddhism considers non-violence the supreme virtue. Sikhism’s Gurbani declares, “Victory to the Khalsa, who speaks for the welfare of all.” Why then do some countries support the genocide in Gaza and Iran? Why do organizations like the United Nations remain silent? This is an insult to the teachings of humanity’s religious scriptures.
The Genocide in Gaza and Iran: Facts and Truth
In Gaza, over 60,000 people have been killed in the past year, mostly children and women. The city lies in ruins, and starvation is being weaponized. In Iran, recent Israeli attacks have killed over 224 people, including 239 civilians. These attacks are not against terrorism but against humanity. Countries like the United States and some Western nations, which support these attacks, justify this genocide under false pretexts.
Poem:
Blood flows in Gaza, cries echo in Iran,
The world feigns peace while cities burn.
The Quran and Gita cry out for justice,
Why then do the civilized remain silent, why does the world burn?
Criticism of Supporting Countries
The United States, Israel, and their allied nations label this genocide as a war against terrorism. U.S. President Donald Trump openly supported Israel and threatened Iran against developing nuclear weapons. At the G7 Summit, all member nations openly backed Israel. This double standard is a threat to global peace. On one hand, they speak of peace; on the other, they aid in spilling innocent blood.
In contrast, countries like Turkey, Malaysia, and some members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have opposed this genocide. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hitler and asserted Iran’s right to self-defense. In a recent OIC meeting, 57 Muslim countries called for unity against Israel, but the lack of concrete action is disappointing.
The Silence of Global Organizations
The United Nations and other international organizations have become “deaf, mute, and blind” in the face of this genocide. A UNGA resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza was proposed, but India abstained from voting. This silence is no less than a crime. The Quran (Surah An-Nisa 4:135) commands, “Stand firmly for justice, even if it be against yourselves.” Why then do global organizations fail to hear the cries of the oppressed?
Conclusion
The genocide in Gaza and Iran is a crime against humanity. The Quran, Gita, and other religious scriptures teach justice, truth, and non-violence. Countries supporting this genocide are not only violating these teachings but also endangering global peace. Organizations like the OIC must move beyond meetings and take concrete action. The global community must stand with the oppressed, not side with the oppressors.
Poem:
The Quran and Gita call for justice,
Stand with the oppressed, end the night of tyranny.
World, awaken, break your silence now,
Teach the true lesson of peace to humanity.
